Final Lullaby

Into Chorus:
(soft) She won't live, she won't live
She wont get up and face another day in this world
(heavy) She wont laugh, she wont cry
She will lay down to rest and she will die

Verse 1:
"Ring around the rosie", that is what they sing
But they don't know the words they say, have a different meaning
And ashes to ashes they all fall down, into the long-lost dream
And each day in this world brings them only closer, to dying in misery

chorusall heavy)
She wont live, she wont live
She wont get up and face another day in this world
She wont laugh, she wont cry,She will lay down to rest and then she will die

Verse 2:
Holding a little flower, children around her bed
Angels whisper in her ear, "It's time you were left for dead"
She looks into her own thoughts, and into her troubled mind
She says, "Angel, would you take me to Him, if I was to die?"

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Slowly she travels towards it, the white light that's pulling her in
The space around her grows colder, her surroundings start to grow dim
All she can see is the glowing white light, thats all she wants to be near
She takes her last breath and she poises herself. all that she knows disappears

(chorus)

Outro:
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posie
Ashes to ashes, they all fall down
Ring around the rosie, pocket fll of posie,
Ashes to ashes they all fall down

(sung softly)They all fall down in time

Author notes

I've never pictured anyone but myself singing the pieces I write, but I think that this piece would be well suited for Evanescence to sing, especially with Amy Lee's beautiful voice!

    Wow, this piece gave me chills. It just is creepy, which is of course wonderful. If you can make someones skin crawl you have succeeded and for a wiccan you painted a very christian-ly pious picture. Grand,

    Positive!

    ^^ on a small side note, i'd love to mention that the background seems to flow seamlessly with your poem/song.

    I really like the direction and the flow of this. a few lines were awkward in my opinion, but over all not bad.

    ""Ring around the rosie", that is what they sing
    But they don't know the words they say, have a different meaning" the near-rhyme reads very oddly, i'm not sure if that would dissapear when you sing it though. Perhaps using some symbolism of a double meaning would work better...?
